Lisa entered the ward in haste, only to see her father sitting on the sickbed and eating Breakfast. Seeing Mark Holmes like this, she felt relief and a smile surfaced on her face. "How are you feeling today, Dad?" She approached him.
Mark Holmes smiled widely when he saw Lisa and said happily, "Well, I am feeling good."
Lisa giggled and hugged him tightly.
Mark Holmes hugged her back. "I am happy to see you happy, my princess."
When Linda Holmes saw them like this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "You, father and daughter continue chatting. I'll go home now."
“Alright, Mom. Have a rest."
When Linda Holme
Lisa and Carl Black went to the parking area of the hospital at around 7 in the afternoon. "You go with Dr. Valentine. I'll follow you." Carl Black looked at her. She slowly turned her head to look up at him with disbelief. Panic spread in those deep blue eyes, and she asked, "Are you not coming? I don't want to go with him alone." Placing his hands on her shoulders, he looked and said gently, "Don't worry. I'll be there... Now listen carefully, you wait here for him, and let me wait inside the car. If you feel anything wrong, just call me, alright?" “Okay." Lisa reluctantly agreed with him. She couldn’t understand what was going on in his mind. She thought he would go with her, but who would have th
On the other end, Daniel Brooke reached 'Y' city with his assistant Henry August. Very soon they checked into a hotel. In the hotel room, they both are working together, sipping hot coffee. Daniel Brooke asked Henry August, "Did you find out the location from where the mysterious man called?" "Yes, boss. Last time he called from a busy railway station in 'Y' city. He is very clever and keeps changing the location every time he calls." "Hmm." After that, they concentrated on their work and discussed many things. After dinner, Daniel Brooke was lying on the bed trying to sleep. But his mind was filled with the thought of the mysterious man. He hastily came to 'Y' city, but he was somewhat not fee
Carl Black entered the ward with a big basket of fruits in his hands. "Hey." He smiled at Lisa. Lisa's eyes grew wide and her jaw dropped in surprise to see such a big basket of fruits. She asked, "Why did you bring so many fruits?" "What? This is for uncle, not for you." He tried to joke a little. "Very funny." She pouted and looked away from him. Carl Black chuckled and shook his head. "Did Dr. Valentine visit today? What did he say?" He sat down on the sofa next to her and looked at her. "Yes, he came. He said Dad is fit for tomorrow's procedure."
When Lisa came back to the hospital it was almost dark outside. She entered the ward and saw Linda Holmes peeling the oranges. There was no sign of Mark Holmes and Carl Black. She asked her mother, "Where is Dad?" "Doctor asked to do some tests, so Mr. Black took him for the test." Linda Holmes kept peeling the oranges without sparing a glance at her. Lisa was surprised. She wondered what test her father required. Didn’t Dr. Valentine say that her father was fit for PCI? She was a little worried, but she didn't show it to her mother. She only nodded and sat on the sofa beside her. Carl Black and Mark Holmes entered the ward after around an hour. Mark Holmes was sitting in a wheelchair, and he was pushed in by a ward boy
In 'X' city Lisa and Carl Black reached the hospital. It was the day to perform PCI on Mark Holmes. A nurse and a ward boy came to the ward. Mark Holmes was pushed out of the ward in a wheelchair by the ward boy and was ushered in a room. A few moments later, Dr. Valentine came and smiled at Linda Holmes. "Everything will be fine." He glanced at Lisa and Carl Black before entering the room. After that date, Dr. Valentine avoided Lisa as much as possible. He didn’t talk or smile at her as earlier. Mark Holmes was pushed back to the ward after PCI, and Dr. Valentine informed that he would be discharged after a few days of observations.
Daniel Brooke finally broke the silence "What is this Dad? I am not a kid anymore. You can't control me like this." "Sit down first and listen carefully." Daniel Brooke sat on the chair opposite his father and shot a dissatisfied look at him. Thomas Brooke sighed deeply and said calmly, "You are my only son. I am worried about your safety. Stop doing things hastily. I told you to back off from this case but still, you are pursuing it. There is nothing left in this case. You are only making enemies out of it. Do you have any idea how dangerous Senator Michael Harrison is? Stop messing around with him." Daniel Brooke rubbed his forehead in frustration. "I can take care of myself. I am not afraid of that Senator. His son is a criminal
Days passed very quickly. Lisa started going to school as her father's condition improved a bit. During these days, Carl Black dropped her in the morning and picked her up in the afternoon every day. Life was going smoothly for them. Lisa and Anna Green were sipping coffee in the cafeteria after they finished classes. "Did Daniel tell you anything about Neil?" Anna Green looked at Lisa hopefully. Lisa shook her head and replied, "No. He didn't call me these days." She kept the cup down on the table. Anna Green shrugged and leaned back to the chair. "I can't sit here and wait for his call anymore.” She sighed deeply and added, “I'll go to the 'Y' city to find my brother. I'll take help from the police."
The next morning, the door of Daniel Brooke's room was pushed open, and Henry August entered the room. Daniel Brooke was sipping coffee sitting on the sofa. He only glanced at him once. After locking the door behind him, Henry August greeted him, "Good morning, Boss." "Finally, you got time to show up." Daniel Brooke lifted his eyelids and looked at Henry August with a smirk. He patted on the sofa beside him and said, "Come and sit here." Henry August sat down next to him and said, "The photographs and video are authentic. They have not tampered." Daniel Brooke had a sly smile on his face. His expression was sinister. Henry August sw
“Why are you here?” Instead of answering him, Daniel asked back a question.“You are my son, and it is my right to come and check you.” Thomas Brooke raised his voice slightly, feeling annoyed.“But I don’t want to see your face.” Daniel Brooke turned his head to the other side.“Daniel, I have done all this for the safety of you and the family. Don’t forget that you are engaged with Mr. Mayor’s daughter, and you know well that how rich and powerful he is. It will not take an hour for him to take down our family. If you have given up your madness, nothing would have happened like this.” He sounded irritated.Daniel Brooke sat up on the sickbed and said fiercely, “You are justifying a conspiracy to ki

Daniel Brooke sat up on the sickbed and said fiercely, “You are justifying a conspiracy to kill an innocent. Unbelievable, Dad. And, what about killing Alex and
Bang… Bang… Another two more gunshots sounded loud back to back. Lisa shirked, closing her eyes. Silence swept in the room after that. She could only hear her rapidly beating heartbeat. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked up at Carl Black who was shielding her with his body. She asked in a shaky voice, “Are you alright?” He answered, “Yes, my love.” Thump... Meanwhile, they heard the dull sound of something falling on the floor. They turned to look, only to see Daniel Brooke lying on the floor. Blood was dripping down from his belly. He took the bullet for her. Albert was lying behind him, dead. Derek shot two bullets directly on his head. “Daniel…” Lisa shouted and rushed
On the other end, Daniel Brooke reached the location with Derek before the cops could reach them. Derek’s men spread everywhere in the area. There were many incomplete buildings. They have no idea in which building Albert was hiding. Suddenly a voice came out from Derek’s walkie-talkie, “Two men were seen on the rooftop of the last building to the right side.” “Got it,” Derek answered. They looked up at the last building and saw two men roaming around on the rooftop, inspecting the surroundings. They had guns in their hands. Derek looked at Daniel Brooke, “Now we should go ahead, avoiding their eyes.” Nodding, they approached carefully, hiding behind the stacks of bricks. They saw dozens of men guarding the building when they came
Albert laughed loudly again, “You are smart, Daniel. Did you know why I called you?” He waited for a while but when he didn’t get any answer from Daniel Brooke, he began to say, “Because my men have abducted your beloved woman. And her husband also came following her. Now he is fighting with my man.” He laughed again loudly. Soon his expression changed into a monstrous look, “If you want her alive, come to the abandoned construction site of JK builders alone within an hour. If you delay or you try to trick me, you will lose her forever.” “Don’t touch her.” Daniel Brooke shouted impulsively. “Your problem is with me. She is innocent. Don’t do anything to her. I will come wherever you want.” “See you soon.” The call ended immed
Carl Black chuckled and looked at his mother, “Mom…” Holding her hand, he went to her room. On the other end, after showing all the rooms of the Black villa, Mack Black finally took Lisa to her bedroom, “And this is your bedroom. Go and rest. I hope bro will come in any minute.” Smiling, he waved at her and ushered her inside the room. When Lisa came in, various scenes started playing like a recording in her mind. All the scenes were entangled with each other, and she couldn’t make heads or tails of those. She walked towards the bed in reverie and saw her cry miserably. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her breathing quickened. Blinking continuously, she tried to remember what happened in the past.
Turning off the shower, Daniel quickly came out of the bathroom and changed his cloth. Grabbing the car key, he rushed out of his penthouse and drove to the college. Half an hour later, he reached the college and headed to the department of Physics. He blocked the way of a young boy and asked “Hey… Can you show me Professor Black’s cabin?” The boy replied happily, “Sure. Follow me.” Daniel Brooke followed the young man quietly, inspecting the surroundings. He never thought that he would come to meet his arch-rival on his own. He wondered how Carl Black would react to see him. When he was lost in his thoughts, the boy said. “There is Professor Black’s cabin.” The boy stretched his arm and pointed his finger ah
Daniel Brooke threw the gun to Derek and said in his commanding tone, “Call the police and inform Albert’s whereabouts.” With that, he walked out of the house. Derek signaled his men to take care of everything and followed Daniel Brooke. That night the police went to the address that had been given by Kyle Kings, but Albert was nowhere to be found. All his belongings were left which proved his presence. However, before the police could reach him, he ran away. When Daniel Brooke learned about it, he got mad, “You all are useless. This was our golden chance to capture him. All these days he was right under our nose, but we failed to locate him, and now he managed to escape. Find him at any cost before he harms anyone.” He kicked hard on the sofa and cursed loudly, “Fu*
Lisa woke up after a few hours and looked around, but she didn’t find any trace of Carl Black. She panicked and the view of him walking away from her, holding a suitcase came alive in front of her eyes. Grabbing the towel, she wrapped it around her body and walked out of the room. She heard the humming of someone and looked down at the source of the sound, only to see him doing something in the kitchen. It seemed that his mood was good. Lisa’s lips curled up involuntarily and came back to the room. She went to the bathroom to freshen up. After taking a quick shower, she came out and changed her clothes. Last night she didn’t look around the area properly so she went to the balcony and looked outside. There were many tall trees in that area. The chir
